Thank you everyone.
We did manage to delete the certificates, all but the right one (we figured out looking at clients' /etc/ipa/ca.crt)
But on client installation we now get different message, which is related to certificate too. tried another IPA server too, same message.
Successfully retrieved CA cert Subject: CN=Certificate Authority,O=EXAMPLE.COM Issuer: CN=Certificate Authority,O=EXAMPLE.COM Valid From: Thu Jun 01 12:55:08 2017 UTC Valid Until: Mon Jun 01 12:55:08 2037 UTC
Joining realm failed: libcurl failed to execute the HTTP POST transaction. Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates
Installation failed. Rolling back changes. IPA client is not configured on this system.
I have attached the log file.
thank you all once again. regards, Bhavin

Thank you. your help is appreciated. We are still out of luck and this is becoming very critical for us.
Please help.
We did remove all but 1 certificate, restarted master (ds01) but clientinstallation, connection check and replica installation still fails.

This issue is unrelated.
IPA pulls the list of CA's to add from LDAP so pre-deleting the entries locally won't do anything: they will be re-added by ipa-client-install.
You'll need to look in ARTERIS.COM IPA CA,cn=cn=certificates,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=ateris,dc=com for userCertificate. It is a multi-valued attribute. I'm guessing it occurs 5 times. It seems only one of them is problematic, you'll need to figure out which one is the "bad" one, or figure out which is the most recent and remove the others. I'd be sure to save a copy of whatever is there at the moment to be on the safe side.

Hello Jon,
thank you for your help. responded to main thread, and just sending you the actual output for certutil.

These nicknames do not look unique to me, I'm assuming you're still editing them for inclusion in this email.
But irregardless here is where I'm going with this. Your goal is to identify the correct cert to use and which to discard. The only way you can do that is to examine each individual cert. To examine an individual cert you must have it's *unique* nickname to pass to "certutil -L -a -n xxx" where xxx is the unique nickname.
Only you can identify the correct cert once you list them. At the absolute minimum they should each have a unique (issuer,serial_number) pair. The one you want to use will probably select based on the issuer and validity dates.
This is how NSS handles multiple copies of the same certificate subject in a given database.
My assumption is that the CA was renewed multiple times.
This should get you the PEM-encoded copies of the certs:
# certutil -D -d /etc/pki/nssdb -n "ARTERIS.COM IPA CA" -a

Hello,
I'm having various problem on our FreeIPA setup, like can not establish new replica server or add a client anymore. Initially we had certificate issue, then we upgraded the Master FreeIPA server (CentOS 7.0.146) to FreeIPA v4.4.0) few months back.
On master server it shows up 4 entries for IPA CA certificate. Is this normal?
[root@ds01 ~]# certutil -d /etc/pki/nssdb -L

The question is: are these all different certificates (and why)? I assume someone ran ipa-cacert-manage renew a bunch of times.
Multiple entries in itself shouldn't be a problem.
I assume this is related to your client install issues. You may be able to get away with having just the latest CA cert stored in LDAP to avoid this.
I saw this last night and my first thought was this shouldn't happen because certutil enforces nickname uniqueness.
We would like to verify what each cert is, specifically it's issuer and serial number. But we can't ask certutil to show us the details of a cert because you must pass the -n nickname flag to certutil so it can find the cert to display. But since the nicknames are not unique you can't do that. This is why certutil (and any low level NSS API that adds a cert to the db) demands name uniqueness.
Are the names listed with -L truly unique? It looks like you edited them.
